I hate sent another email and even called, but she was out of office. When recruiter sent the test files, she apologized for being out of touch and even thanked me for my persistence.
By the way, I was not talking about Medscribe at all. It is a totally different company.
Wish me luck!

Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

I took their test last night with no problem..sm
had no problem using the software they provided..
I finally went on line to their site and took the test...sm
Then I heard the next day. Didn't accept their offer as pay was too low and I was looking for a different platform. Good luck!

In addition to that I wonder if test files
are not a way to get some transcription done. Some of the testing is so long. I've had where the company will send practically a whole day's worth of work for testing purposes. 
I downloaded two test files from sm
CTS and they were they worst dictator! So fast and I couldn't get the speed right (too fast or too slow). I figured they must have sent the two worst files they had. I asked 2 or 3 questions and each time I would ask a question, the person would tell me they didn't know. Simple questions they should know and if they don't, I sure as heck dont. I decided not to even finish the files and send them back.....the poster about not getting paid was the clincher for me though!
GIMT - finally, somewhere that I can call home!
 thank you Mary and John, Katie, Cindy, Lana. You all are so great, and I love it!
Bet you know who this is. No? Take a guess, then.
   
They expect you to transcribe 10 files for a test and
the test. Then, she contacted me and said I failed, but I'd say probably 8/10 of the files were ESL. Very unprofessional e-mail contact. The recruiter was not the actual owner, but the co-owner, and boy did it show. She made me retake the test stating Okay, now let's try this again, but with no explanation. I had to wait days in between communications, so I told her she was unprofessional, and she got real snippy and high on her horse. If I was looking for a change, I certainly would not consider TSSC, as I found them to be very unprofessional. 
Did you see that they want 9 test files done??!! And they advertise as a Global
s
I received the test files Sunday
The dictator is extremely fast and mumbles. Not worth it in my opinion. I emailed her back and politely declined after listening to the files.
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
i would call at the high ups every night after midnight to request you be taken off their employee l
keep calling each of them every night after midnight as they do to you until you finally make someone upset enough that they see to it that you are removed from ALL their lists. or you could block their # and do the spam for emails as the other poster said.
Yes they did finally bite back
I also read those posts and picked up on the bravado with which the 'inside information' was shared.
I work for TT and the way they've been trashed on here since some accounts went to VR, they'd have defendants around the block if they were suing MTs simply for stating an opinion.
There's merit to this lawsuit or TT would not have even bothered pursuing it, plain and simple.
The moral of the story to everyone should be to keep the self-importance in check and to make 110% sure that if you're posting something as fact, you can indeed back it up. Otherwise, you too could end up being sued, not just by your employer/former employer but anyone else you are defaming.
I love working at TT.
And I could not possibly care less if I get flamed for that or not.
Yes, I second the motion on everything the other poster. Bad test files and reputation
for no pay. I know there was a controversy on here way back about her not paying or something. I cant remember it all but it did not sound good.
If you fax a resume and/or test files do you follow with an email the next day?
Just curious what others do.
yes..depends on back...mine was there last night...

Exactly back atcha, MT 30+ - I don't want to be the one up all night when the reports are out of

Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Is the sound clarity as bad as it is in the test files? Lots of static

on NewMT board, recent discussion about 17 test files for
nm
I did finally hear back and did okay but I think I am done testing until I talk with someone about
what they are looking for. I cant get the foot pedal to work with the voice so it takes a lot of time to go back over and over the dictation.
Test dictations are often bogus and not true voice files from the company. Need to ask. nm
s
15 minutes after sending my test files I was told she had already selected another applicant.nm
nm
Are there any companies that I would download voice files and then send back but would be able to
transcribe on the move so I can travel but not use all my vacation time? I wish I had paid attention earlier this year..but I didn't know I'd ever be in the position to need to do this.
they email you some voice files to type and send back

I took their test yesterday, and today got a call
with no interview, nothing - and got offered a job. Want me to train tomorrow, and start next week already. Seems suspect. Although, he did say they have the account, but can't actually get it up and running until they get people in place. Very weird ... I pass.
The recruiter said she would call me with a 60 minute test? sm
The test is over the phone?
I don't think so. I got my test back from them but not from two others. I think it is becoming
common. I was embarrassed when I saw my test and made sure that the next one I took was better.
Why would you think it was Keystrokes? No one mentioned a company. I was thinking of an entirely different company. Just curious.
Call back
It is my understanding that Heather is no longer with the company. I would contact Katie, she is now the HR/recruiter. I really enjoy my job with DSG! There are several people happy there. They pay on time and correctly. They are very easy to communicate with. In the archives is also a post from a DSG'r who works for GIMT as well and is very happy with both!
so, call them back and say you have a dog now and

Call them back
Ask to speak to the highest person there. Demand that they immediately cut you a check and send it overnight (providing you with a tracking number). It is not your fault that they made an error. I do not play around when it comes to my money and I would NOT let them get away with that.
Yippee I actually did run out of work this morning!
Just went on out to the garden and picked some strawberries and rhubarb and made a pie. Let's see what other fun I can have today. The weekend is coming up and I'm betting there'll be more than plenty and no long line of people waiting to do it.
Yippee. I got the job! First good news this MT
has had in forever. Now, just crossing fingers and toes no more jobs, just this one until retirement! Argg, the stress of job-hunting and switching.. But the happiness of a new home! Thanks for your help here!
Any current info on JLG? I took the test and am currently waiting interview call. nm

Thanks - I sent my test back Friday
so hopefully I'll hear back by the end of next week. I'm really interested in doing clinic notes so I hoping I did well enough.
Call or go back to the school
and ask them exactly where these $60,000 to $70,000 jobs are. When they tell you, let us all know!
Did anyone get a call back regarding the job with CLK transcription? nm

Medquist call back?
Hey everyone. I had my phone interview with Medquist on Sunday morning and filled out the second set of information they asked for. They said it would only be a day or two and I still haven't heard anything. Does anybody know how long they usually take? Do they let you know if you didn't get the job?
Thanks in advance for the info.
I was told I'd get a call back too
with TAT, hours, etc.; after hearing such wonderful things about the company, lack of follow through on their part did make me blue.
Must be why they won't call me back. Sent resume and
they responded almost instantly, can't wait to talk to me. They have never called me back. I've been reading lots of posts today and overall they don't sound like a great company, so I figure it is just as well they didn't call.
I took over a week for them to get back to me, and I took a test over the phone, but that was SM
several years ago. Dont now about now.
So good to know! I took the test but have not heard back
I don't think I will take the job, but do you know if they even hire ICs? Just so I know! TXs
took their test and waited for eight months to hear back from then sm
by that time I had two different jobs. No the eight months is NOT A TYPO
I did apply, heard back, and took the first part of their test. nm
nm
I've called them and waiting for them to call me back. nm
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
Medware's test hold people back from applying.
.
Even so, it is very unprofessional and rude to not reply back when someone took the time to test!!
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
true about the people being rude, not to mention, don't call you back. nm

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
